I am so F***ing angry.

Just tried to get a wheel bolt off (locking) and there so S**T that it snapped off the end of the bolt and now i cant get it off. MOT is tomorow morning 8.20 and now i fear im F**ed yet again. Whats the solution to getting this bolt off?

Drill through the middle of the bolt, shove in a bar, weld the bar to the bolt, then turn the bar.
Might work, no experience of it though.

happened to me not so long ago, luckily i had like 2 little threads left hanging out and managed to put some grips on it and hit it with a hammer,

[Returnof318i]

How can you weld to alloy?

[BadDave]

Is it just the threaded section that's left?

[town325i]

what cant you get off the wheel? the bolt will be made of steel so you can weld to that take the disc of if its the front you may be lucky and have some thred showing. also if the bolt is stuck it may be cross threded

[Returnof318i]

No it is a locking wheel bolt, the silly little teeth have snapped, gonna get it drilled out tomorow i think

[Cloud]

Ohright.
Thought it was a steel stud.

to be honest a garage wont drill the bolt they are far to hard and take alot of time. they shud have a socket that you clang over the top of it and it cuts into edge of bolt and winds off that way.
if your with aa or rac ring them and tell them trying to change spare and key broke that works occasionally
